While we're talking about Stephen Miller, may I call attention to his valley girl accent? You won't be able to unhear it

Something I’ve been thinking about

just my attempt to explain how the US lost a war we didn’t even know about, mostly by arguing online (5 min video)

NEW: How we got a generation of young men whose lives have been destroyed by digital algorithms

Whenever someone asks if we'll have legitimate elections in 2026 I think of those math problems like "two trains are heading south, one at 30mph and the other at 100mph, which will arrive at the destination first?" where the slow train is democratic guardrails & the fast one is the Trump admin

on that Wired article, our broken info environment, and our lack of shared reality... mapping the Democrats' dark money in your algorithm: www.instagram.com/reel/DOLgDrg...

Looking forward to the stock market opening tomorrow and we, the normie public, get to find out one little clue about our president’s health status and whether his maybe-stroke is an open secret or not

Humans saw this and still invented Microsoft excel

I have an embarrassingly large catalog of Trump quotes in my head and let me just say, that man has never once let a single synapse approach the remote possibility that he would go to hell or heaven to answer for his life… he either got a bad prognosis or a threat from Putin

Can the Holocaust sue Candace Owens for defamation too

Imagine if your boss closed your office for the rest of the week to prevent the release of information about history's most famous pedophile. That's what the Speaker of the House is doing.

Now would be a great time for Barack Obama to serve Donald Trump with a defamation suit for calling him a traitor

I need Andy and a camera on Shari Redstone after last night's South Park

Republicans in Congress could make this all stop at any time but instead the Speaker started summer vacation early rather than expose the elite sex trafficking ring that they've been OBSESSED WITH EXPOSING FOR AN ENTIRE DECADE... wtf is up with that

Katie Phang, V Spehar and sami sage breakdown the latest developments in the Epstein coverup. @katiephang.bsky.social @samisagesays.bsky.social

Do any of the FBI agents who spent hours scrubbing the Epstein files of Trump's name have anything to share with the class?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

People need to stop calling Jeffrey Epstein a "disgraced financier" The only thing he was "financiering" was a trafficking ring for wealthy old men to access underage girls

Trump's dad wouldn't let him grow up to be an artist, so he became a scam artist

Trad wives are just girl bosses with two jobs

The one point I believe from Trump regarding Epstein is that he didn’t go to the island, but that’s only because he hates vacations, hates boats, and hates not being at one of his own homes

I don't want to get my hopes up that the Epstein stuff will finally be Trump's big undoing, but given the importance of the Epstein-adjacent QAnon conspiracies to his mythology, I think there's a tiny chance it is

the democrats' hesitance around taking up the epstein cause baffles me when you consider it's like the final boss of me too cases

Trump just said he can't believe someone appointed Jerome Powell He appointed Jerome Powell

An enduring problem is that America's foreign adversaries think in centuries while Americans think in fiscal quarters and our president thinks in goldfish minutes

so let's say spam bondi gets fired... do people really believe she's the only one standing in the way of the Epstein files being released? like once she's gone we'll all see the client list? lol

If you told me Elon has a collection of SS uniforms at home I would believe you

I am really glad—truly—that more outlets are covering FEMA’s unacceptable response in Texas. But for my original reporting to receive ZERO acknowledgement (especially when I know many of these outlets originally declined to cover this story) is simply maddening. I would literally never do that.

The Epstein story is not that complicated: He got away with what he did bc he was blackmailing so many people, was likely part of an intelligence op for 1 or more countries, and the people implicated in the documents are the ones with the power to release them, so they won't 🪡

Sometimes when I read the headlines about Trump I pretend I’m Xi Jinping hearing this news and it’s a thrillingly optimistic few minutes

can someone please buy Bill Ackman a diary

Bitch ass healthcare thieves

Did you ever notice that when people refer to organized crime, different words are used to describe the organizations? For people of color: GANGS For people assimilated into whiteness (Italians, Irish, Jews): THE MAFIA For (mostly) wealthy white guys at work: WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS

I can't fully explain it but the Bezos wedding has the same energy as a labubu

The thing about AIPAC is there should be no money in politics anyway

We Are All Suffering The Fallout Of Billionaires' Emotional Problems: Exhibit 100

Democratic Elite are completely divorced from Democratic voters, and that is a problem for them.

Happy Wednesday. Republicans in Congress could make it all stop at any time.

ceasefire must be the new impeachment: meaningless

I could potentially be open to regime change. Which regime are we changing?

Uh oh looks like oil prices are getting a little yippy

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

I think it's vastly underrated the extent to which events are guided by dear leader's fleeting moods and petty slights, but on a grand scale with global consequences... the thing with the Qatari plane was just because he wanted a new plane the way you or I want a new pair of shoes. Iran, the perade.

it’s wild how the trump administration doesn’t even need to try and spin a WMD story. they’re literally just like, we did what we did and you can get on board or die mad.

the US government funds wars like it’s gonna get one for free if it fills a punchcard

Sipping a $9 Starbucks iced coffee and contemplating how the US would consider any other country acting this way to be a rogue state

Just wait until Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz and Donald blames Jerome Powell for the price increases

Even if Iran were to capitulate in the short term, we'll be dealing with the consequences of this in various forms for probably decades to come. Whatever happens in the next few weeks is not even the half of it

Just a reminder that republicans in congress could make it stop at any time
